The Silk Road House
continues live storytelling sessions which will bring you and your children on
an imaginary journey to the magical world of fairy tales and epic stories once
wildly popular along the historical Silk Roads.
Do you ever feel like fortune has passed you by?
This week, Dana Sherry shares the tale of "Kadyr's Fortune," in which
Kadyr sets out to wake up his lazy fate and put it to work for him, and Diana
Shmiana will tell "Bekbolat," in which a young man's dream sets him
off on the rocky road to destiny.
In February and March, we are offering a special
eight-week storytelling series that presents newly translated Kazakh fairy
tales, told for the first time in English. Each session will feature a
storytelling performance for all ages, followed by a seminar discussion for
adults connecting the stories to Kazakh folk culture led by Silk Road House
director and Stanford anthropologist Alma Kunanbaeva. This is a unique
opportunity to understand traditional tales in their cultural context, and we
hope you can join us, whether once or for the whole program!
